About	Damavand is the highest mount in Iran. with serious wether (specially at winter) Damavand is the most important montain not only because of its height but also for an ancient mythology every iranian know: Arash the Archer- …Iran was invaded by Touranians and shame of conquest was to be complete with a Turanian proposal to limit Iran to the range of an arrow's flight. Arash, a Solider, volunteered to shoot the arrow. He strained his bow as never before, let the arrow fly and, exhausted, became one with the arrow and disappeared. The arrow flew the entire morning and fell at noon on the far bank of the Oxus River in what is now Central Asia. The Oxus river is the traditional boundary between the Iranian world and outer central Asia or Turan. Arash's body was never found. There are still stories from travelers who, lost in the mountains, hear Arash Kamangir's voice who helps them find their way and thus saves their lives… Arash Shot his arrow from this montain.

Great picture.

The composition with the mountain in the middle and the clous works very well in my opinion.

Exposure, colour and details are all good.
